Augustana talent
enhances Vespers
Christmas Vespers this year
will once again feature
Augustana's special group and
individual talents as it pro-claims
the Good News - for the
Christmas season.
Anticipation of the annual
event is evidenced by the fact
that the reservation tickets have
been gone for some time. The
tickets were free, but had to be
obtained in advance to assure a
seat at the service.
Persons not having reserved
tickets, however, may still be
admitted at the door beginning
ten minutes prior to the perfor-mance
provided that seating is
available.
The Concert Choir, Col-legiate
Chorale, Orchestra, and
Brasswind Choir will provide
special music for the service.
Christmas Vespers will also
feature two premiere musical
compositions by two members
of the Augustana community.
Professor Ed Wilcox will con-duct
the orchestra in the first
public performance of Fantasia
on Two Hymns, a piece com-posed
by Wilcox himself.
The Concert Choir will be
performing a Christmas choral
composition by sophomore Jim
Olsen. The piece won the an-nual
composition contest held
for Dr. May's second year
music theory students, thus en-titling
it to a debut at Christmas
Vespers.
Campus pastor Mark Jerstad
will serve as liturgist for the ser-vice,
which will follow the
traditional vespers format.
The congregation will also be
able to participate in the wor-ship
service by singing the
hymns, which have been
specially arranged by Dr. May.
Held at Our Saviour's
Lutheran Church, the four
vespers services will commence
on Saturday, Dec. 9, at 6 p.m.
and 8:15 p.m., and on Sunday,
Dec. 10, at 4 p.m. and 8:15 p.m.
Combining tradition and in-novation,
words and music,
Christmas Vespers offers not
only the Augustana communi-ty,
but also alumni, friends of
the college, and the general
public an opportunity to wor-ship
in a specially meaningful
way.
Augustana's Concert Choir will be one of several campus music organizations participating in the
annual Christmas Vespers services this weekend.
As finals approach
Study habits crucial
for successful exams
Intramural program
finds home in UBG
To know how to study right
is important. Making time and
finding the best place to study
without being disturbed are
sometimes difficult for college
students.
Nancy Dickinson, head resi-dent
of Tuve Hall, and Susan
Schrader, co-ordinator for
residence life, led a help session
on how to study last week in the
basement of Tuve Hall. The au-dience
consisted of nearly 40
students, most of them
freshmen.
Each of the students was pro-vided
with a 12-page packet of
information on planning
schedules and preparing for an
exam.
Dickinson and Schrader
began the session by giving tips
on how to organize time and
how to find place to study.
They recommended that
students keep a schedule for
studies and suggested three
types of schedules.
A long-term schedule only
outlines fixed commitments for
the entire semester.
An intermediate schedule lists
major events and sets a goal for
the amount of work to be ac-complished
in each week.
A short-term schedule should
be a daily plan of what is to be
accomplished.
Aplace to study, they stress-ed,
should be a spot designated
for study and no other ac-tivities.
For example, Dickinson
said that daydreaming is not
allowed in the study place; in-stead,
a person must go
somewhere else to daydream.
Some suggestions they
presented for studying included:
•Mark your book. Underline
or highlight key words, not
paragraphs. Write questions
you might have in the margin.
•Make study aides,
flashcards, study sheets,
acronyms, etc.
• Compile your notes for easy
reference.
'Don't be your own worst
enemy. Avoid proscrastination
by positive or negative rewards.
'Learn to say "no" to friends.
Be assertive.
• Utilize your time in class. If
you're bored, review. Don't
write letters, doodle or talk.
You can look over yesterday's
notes.
•Know the difference bet-ween
cramming and reviewing:
Cramming is the frantic attempt
to stuff one's mind as full as
possible of facts and ideas in a
short time.
Reviewing, however, is a re-examination
of familiar
material to clarify one's
understanding, refresh one's
memory and pick up any im-portant
material which has been
overlooked or has slipped out of
mind.
'Review after each class, if
only briefly.
• Study past quizzes and tests
and learn from past mistakes.
• Be familiar with the kind of
questions your professor asks
on exams.
The session also gave
students several helpful hints on
how to take both objective and
essay tests. In taking multiple
choice tests, Dickinson and
Schrader said one can often
guess the answer by good think-ing
processes, even if the stu-dent
is not sure of the right
answer. Reading the question
thoroughly can oftentimes
clarify the issue for the test-taker.

Augustana's intramural
athletic program will be ad-ministered
by UBG next
semester. This change is a result
of action taken Sunday evening
by ASA.
The intramural program will
be under the supervision of
UBG's Recreation Board. The
council unanimously approved
a $750 allocation to fund the
program. Tim Kuck, A&P
committee member, said that
intramural athletics were need-ed.
'The program now could
hardly be described as an in-tramural
program," Kuck add-ed.
The resolution stipulates that
80 percent of the funds, or $600,
will be used to purchase
necessary athletic equipment. It
also allows for $125 to be used
to advertise and increase stu-dent
awareness of the program.
Another $25 will be used for
administrative purposes, and
the remaining $25 is slated to go
for participation fees in the
North Central Conference
(NCC) Intramural Day to be
held in the spring.
Co-Curriculum chairperson
Kirk Kolbo told ASA that the
Huddle hours during chapel will
be changed, beginning in in-terim.
The Huddle will be open at 10
a.m. on Tuesdays and
Thursdays, instead of
10:20a.m. Kolbo credits
Augustana president Dr.
Charles Balcer for his help in
changing the policy.
ASA granted Big Name
Entertainment an extension
from the original Dec. 1
deadline for booking another
act. BNE chairperson Kris
Sewdin explained that it is
necessary since she is "still try-ing
to decide what's the best
thing for student money."
In other action taken by
ASA, the Curriculum Council
was commended for its recent
work with faculty surveys and
students advisors. Cathy
Qualseth, Curriculum chairper-son,
said that the response to
advisors has been favorable.
Qualseth continued,
however, . that the survey
response has been mixed. "I've
heard a lot of negative
responses to the survey," she
said. Qualseth attributes this to
the emphasis that the survey
places on pleasing the pro-fessors..
P&D reported that applica-tions
are being taken for Con-vention
Chairpersons. The in-terviews
will be held Wednes-day.
The ASA nominating con-vention
will be held Feb. 26-27.
In other P&D action, Jim Sor-vaag,
chairman of P&D, moves
that Jim McAdaragh be approv-ed
to replace Lori Forman or
the Publications Board. Formar
resigned the post upon assum-ing
editorship of the Mirror
McAdaragh was unanimoustl
approved.
